The first thing to acknowledge is that when the Government first tried to put in place an uninsured database to track uninsured drivers a number of years ago it failed and the Garda stopped using it because it was delivering a number of false positives. It is not a simple thing to do and we need to make sure that we are doing it right because we do not want the Garda rejecting it again. I can tell the Senator that action No. 61 is back on track in terms of going live in quarter three with the uninsured database for private vehicles. That information will pass to the Garda Síochána.
